Before you can build a great employee experience, you need to know where you stand.

Not a report A roadmap

Most startups don't have a people problem. They have a people visibility problem. Nobody has sat down, looked at how hiring actually works, what onboarding really feels like, whether culture is intentional or accidental, and told the founder plainly what's working, what's fragile, and what's quietly creating risk.

That's what the Audit does. In two weeks, we will map five critical areas of your people infrastructure, score each one against a clear rubric, and hand you a written report with a 60-minute debrief, so you know exactly where to focus and in what order.

What we look at

Hiring & Talent acquisition

Is your process consistent? Does it reflect your values? Are candidates experiencing your company the way you'd want them to, or is the first impression already broken?

Does a new hire know what success looks like at 30, 60, and 90 days? Is there a structured experience in place, or does joining your company still mean figuring it out as you go?

Onboarding

Culture & values

Are your values defined and lived, or decorative? Do people know what behaviours are celebrated and what’s not tolerated — and does leadership model that consistently?

People systems & tooling

Is there a single source of truth for people data? Do managers have the frameworks and information they need to lead well? Are your people processes documented or locked in someone's head?

Retention & engagement

Does leadership have real visibility into how the team is feeling? Are there feedback loops in place — or do you only find out there’s a problem when someone hands in their notice?

What's included

A written document covering all five areas, with each one scored and assessed, not in HR jargon, but in plain language a founder can act on. A prioritised gap analysis that tells you what to address first, what can wait, and what’s genuinely working well. And a 60-minute debrief call where we walk through the findings together, sense-check them against your instincts, and align on what the next 90 days should look like.

How it works

The Audit takes two weeks from kick-off to debrief. It starts with a 60-minute discovery conversation with you, and where relevant, a few short conversations with key team members. No lengthy surveys, no disruption to the team. The output is a focused, actionable report, not a 40-page consultant deck.

Timeline

2 weeks from kick-off to debrief.

Commitment

None beyond the Audit itself. If it’s the right fit to continue, we’ll talk about it. If not, you leave with a clear roadmap you can act on independently.

From $800 — credited in full toward your first month if you continue with a retainer.

Price

Not sure where your people infrastructure stands? That's exactly why the Audit exists.
